Or more hours in the day.

I know I haven't been as active at this as I'd have liked, mostly because
my spare FreeBSD time has been devoted to the Doc. Project.

<URL:http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/policy-incoming.html>;
covers what was meant to happen. Shortly after writing that up I got hit
by RSI, which very effectively prevented me from doing anything with a 
keyboard for a couple of months.

More -maintainers would definitely help. It also probably wouldn't hurt
to have -maintainers automatically cc'd everytime a PR is closed, which
should be a sufficiently frequent prod.

Also, couldn't incoming/ be NFS mounted read-only on freefall? That should
let committers (committers == has account on freefall, right?) even if
the -maintainers have collectively gone on their summer holidays?

I'm going to try and spend a couple of hours tomorrow (Monday) evening 
going through incoming/ to work through the worst of the dreck.
